Protest movements that stop as soon as they start seeing results fail.

Protest movements that keep going until your whole squad is across the finish line win.
Visa employees clearly told to deescalate ASAP
MasterCard employees more than familiar with the issue
Stripe feeling the pressure
ACLU put out a statement
CBC covered all this

What you are doing is WORKING
You are getting RESULTS
KEEP CALLING
KEEP WRITING
WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!

This uhhh… this is fucking horrible. Assume everything you type into an "AI" chatbot— and especially if you *Share It*— is being saved and read and is *In No Way Private At All Ever*.

These corporations don't love you. Shit, most of them don't even *Like* you.

Please be careful out there

if you call and they hang up on you, call back and immediately say you want to escalate to a supervisor because you were just hung up on. you don't even need to say any other details, just that you were hung up on and need to escalate
SITREP from 4Chan /v/ Re: Collective Shout.

Visa and Mastercard are taking on substantial damage to their sales quots and support times for this. Don't stop calling.

I've encountered people feeling like they have to follow the rules exactly when Visa directs them to their email but here's a secret: you can just keep talking

You can say "I understand that but this is too important to just go to email" and then just keep talking

There is a bill right now in the US trying to pass

It would make it illegal for any financial service provider to prohibit or inhibit any legal transaction

It's called the "Fair Access to Banking Act, H.R.987 in the House, S.410 in the Senate"

Call your representatives if you live in the US !!!!
So we know who to blame for getting payment processing companies to go after furries and kicking them from only fans, fansly, and steam.

It is a group called “collective shout”. Furry adult content is being falsely labeled bestiality by payment processing companies. This group got them to do that.

WeTransfer just changed their TOS giving themselves permission to train AI on any content you transfer and produce derivative works based on content you transfer that they are allowed to monetize and you are not allowed payment for.

Stop using WeTransfer.

They are called KOSA and IODA respectively.
CALL.

“To turn off, go to Settings > Apps > Photos on iOS and turn off Enhanced Visual Search. On Mac, open Photos and go to Settings > General to do the same. You must do it on each of your Apple devices.”
Apple has opted iOS and MacOS users into an AI photo scanning feature which tries to extract landmarks from your photos called Enhanced Visual Search by default with little notice.

Glaze or Nightshade your artworks. And selfies. And photos. And dickpics. And pics of your cat.

Yes, scrapers already have all our uploads from past years.
But AI companies cannot get rich with updated AI models if they get no new clean data.

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start:

go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off
